Lol you dipshit. You don’t think the billionaires running the cartels are paying off hundreds of US politicians? There is video of them ambushing the Mexican military and attacking hospitals and the US isn’t even attempting to help
What I like to do is actually read instead of flying off at the handle like some homeless street urchin that got his nachos stepped on and is mad because a passing cloud looks like his dead aunt Mae.
The poster I replied to said "what kind of deal the cartels have with the US government" not what kind of deal do the cartels have with misc individuals they can pick off and bribe. Like all "businesses" of course the cartels spread money around if it helps their cause but alas that doesn't change the fact that this has absolutely nothing to do with official US Govt policy... which as I pointed out would change dramatically if drug cartels become classified as terrorist organizations under H.R.2600.
I like that you want to be involved in the conversation and that you're quivering with excitement with your hand raised desperately wanting me to acknowledge you, but simmer down there little fella and maybe just read what I post and nod quietly in agreement for a few days then try your hand at posting again.
And please spare us a "politicians are paid off to prevent cartels from being classified as terrorist organizations" drivel reply as the issue is much more complex than that. We've been kicking it around for over a decade and it hasn't gotten any easier. That's why the status quo is holding as the options get murky and uncontrollable so we leave it where it is on both sides.
Declaring Mexican Drug Cartels ‘Terrorists’ Is a Bad Old Idea
